AIBU to HATE every single tv ad for perfume I have ever seen ?

[AnyFuckerForAMincePie]

That is all.

Just seen the Prada Candy one.

Candy ????

And yes, the bloke stays fully dressed while her dress ends up over her head and she is wearing pink frilly knickers

bag'o'shite

I suppose it's the undiluted 'fashion' world coming straight onto our screens - not something we see very often. Even the clothing brands are often toned down for adverts (you only see the real catwalk type stuff in magazines) - and those magazine adverts have an air of the perfume ones about them.

So they go a bit mad with their perfume branding...

....hope that made sense...

Some i like, some make me feel sick :(

Yanbu, but can you all extend puzzlement/anger to car adverts too. They're also a massive bag of poo.

The J'dore Dior one with Charlize Theron doing a catwalk after seeing Grace Kelly & Marilyn Monroe backstage says to me; 'Charlize might be a bit of alright, but she's got nothing on these two very dead ladies, aren't Hollywood stars plain nowdays in comparison? Oh, she probably smells better though'.

To go back to Audrey tatou: my DH piped up last night with "who would sleep naked on a train? What if someone came to check her ticket". It made me chuckle.

The Scarlett Johansson one that seems to be on every five seconds gets right on my tit end....do fuck off love!

The Nicole Kidman ones were alot of old boswollocks, why so dramatic just to advertise perfume?

Empire - I just watched the long version of that one online and I agree with your DH - i couldn't believe she was naked in the wagon-lit either!

The one that really grates is of the woman getting out of bed and doing up her (pink?) corset before leaving her sleeping lover behind in bed who is wearing underpants. UNDERPANTS?! They've just had steamy sex and he is wearing UNDERPANTS?! Cannot abide these half-hearted attempts at eroticism. Either do it properly or not at all. There is even no need for it-why not just have the sheet draped about his bottom half?

The Scarlett Johansson one really annoys me. Though I do like to admire the bouffant hairdo. It may be the most unflattering thing I have ever seen atop a head. She looks like Margaret Thatcher circa 1982!

But I love them, as a special part of Christmassiness, though am finding some of this year's confusing. The artier and more abstract the better. I see them as akin to catwalk fasion shows - all art and artifice and nothing to do with anything you're ever going to wear.

I don't buy the stuff (not brand names anyway and rarely wear it) and the fact it costs about 2p to make and must be one of the most marked-up products available is all part of the magical illusion!

Lee Mack sums it up well:

Dior....with Grace Kelly,Marilyn,is great.

They are the absolute worst. The ghastly attempts to sell the fantasy, the affected 'foreign' voices, the teenage girls trying to be women, men in their horrible trendy y-fronts. Especially hate the one where she says 'I do all my own stunts, including the love making... blah blah' YANBU
